Compare and contrast the two major political parties (The Democratic and Republican parties)

Compare and contrast the two major political parties (The Democratic and Republican parties).  You are to:

   1. Identify ten (10) values, from either party, that you strongly agree with.
   2. Explain why you agree with the political value. (An example might be -  I agree with the Republican's party Pro-Life view (value) because my moral and religious beliefs tell me it is wrong to take the life of an innocent, unborn child. I believe that every life is precious.)
   3. After you have decided on ten, add them up to see how many were Republican values and how many were Democratic values. If six of the ten are Democratic values, then it would indicate that you are leaning more toward being a Democrat. Of course, this depends on which ten values you choose. So choose the ten that you think are most important to you.
   4. If  you believe your political values are more identified with a third or minor political party you may research that political party and list 10 of their political values instead of using the information about the two major parties.
   5. And finally, write at least a few paragraphs about what this exercise revealed for you. Did it confirm what you thought about your values before you did the exercise or did you realize something new about your political values? Did it help you to clarify your own personal political values? How did you feel about your results?
